Format:Paperback
The schism between different approaches to Psychiatry (biological vs. Psychotherapeutic) is firmly resolved by the new brief therapies which quite properly see themselves as making a contribution to the totality of knowledge (as other approaches should see themselves.) ITP places itself firmly in the Medical model of Psychiatric illness, has subjected itself to scientific outcome studies and has established its validity. This Second edition is beautifully written, lucid, compassionate, comprehensive and free from jargon. My only criticism is that the reference section does not cover all the references in the text.

Review-Comprehensive Guide to Interpersonal Psychotherapy
18 May 2001
Format:Paperback
Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT) is an important intervention in mood and other related disorders. This volume represents the gold standard reference for any clinician seeking to learn or consolidate their practice of IPT. Updating the original 1984 text, this comprehensive reference clearly describes the theoretical basis of IPT as well as providing a good introduction to the actual practice of IPT in day to day clinical life. The real strength of the volume however, is its scholarly and comprhensive review of previous and ongoing research in IPT and its newer applications in other disorders. This volume is a wonderful inclusion on any library bookshelf as well as being an invaluable tool for the clinician seeking a comprehensive introduction to Interpersonal Psychotherapy

Great overview
21 May 2003
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Excellent overview of IPT from "the source", that is experts involved in its development and research. I decided to buy this book because I needed an introduction to IPT. It discusses in a clear manner the theoretical underpinnings of IPT, and the strategies and techniques used in IPT; the chapters are peppered with case histories and useful questions to ask and interventions to make with patients from an IPT perspective. I give it 4 stars rather than 5 because I think it may try to be all things to all people, blending too much of the elementary and esoteric. I think this book is meant for clinicians, and I don't think a lay person would be much drawn to it; as such I think some of the introductory information on depression (criteria for diagnosis etc.) is too elementary for your typical, even neophyte, clinician. The chapter on research data supporting IPT is rather esoteric; I liked this chapter, but this esoterica doesn't fit with the elementary aspect I just mentioned. This is a minor critique in what is otherwise a very good book for an introduction to IPT. I recommend it.

Excellent additional to your professional library. IPT is an evidence-based treatment and this book provides useful information regarding the theory, specific treatment goals, interventions, stages of therapy, etc. Very readable.
